Quteepie22,
Please excuse (or Moderators delete) my post if it was directed to only your Sorors.
I'll chime in and say that I've never seen the movie (I'm 30 so I was around when it was around I just think that Spike Lee movies are corny the way that he's always talking into the camera, etc.) but I had heard of the various stereotypes of some of the organizations upon getting to college. I say that to say that as someone who never saw the movie, those stereotypes from the movie may still be proliferated by who knows whom upon entry to college so young people may still hear them as I did.

EEEEE-YIP Sorhors!!! I was just on the website for the book African American Fraternities and Sororities; The legacy and the vision. And I was reading the abstract for the chapter about School Daze and how the movie depicted BGLO's. As I read it I wondered how much relavance or influence does the movie have on young non-greeks today. I don't remember if the movie was made in the late eighties or the early nineties, but I do know that I've seen the movie like a thousand times. Now, I'm 26 years old so of course I've seen it. And, I'm not going to lie, there are alot of stereotypes about BGLOs and even though I knew that it was just a movie, I knew people that were in college and they would tell me about the stereotypes which let me to believe that when I got to college the whole fraternity and Sorority experience was going to be like School Daze. Ofcourse, when I got to college and even before I became a Sigma woman, I found that it was nothing like School Daze. But how about the young people that are just starting college and may want to join a fraternity or Sorority. I wonder how many of them have seen the movie and how it may have effected their view of what BGLOs are all about. What do you all think?
